Do It right DU : RT banned from /r/news section of Reddit.

[The Straight Story]

56. Indeed, I stay out of them as well. One other thing I that I do hate there

Is when someone down votes a story as soon as you post it for no reason at all.

I see this mostly late at night. A story that fits well, ends up on that reddits' front page later, but a few people just sit around and downvote anything some people post without even reading it (sometimes I think it is because they wanted to post it and were beaten to it).

Now one thing I love there is reporting spam and such. Just click report, click yes, and the spam goes away right then (don't use that to report stories you don't like, mods frown on that and may ban you).

Another thing you may see if you post a lot (especially in news, not so much in world news) is your story just vanishes. Spam filter picks it up. Most the time I message the mods and ask them to fix it and they do. Sometimes I never hear back (it is things like that which may drive me to try to become a mod in the future on the boards I post in).

Lastly, it is not DU. There is no bubble we can sit in protected from views we don't like. Don't like a post, down vote it, argue against it, etc. There are more progressives and moderates than there are rw nut jobs there, which gives me hope for election days ahead The fundies like to stay in their bubble on the blaze and such and not be challenged.
